From the GRN Australia Director - November 2010It is inevitable that even when Christians live upright honest lives and seek the good of those around them that they will be hated - by some at least. We cannot expect any better treatment than what was handed out to our Lord and Master. |
From the GRN Australia Director - October 2010God's people are called to live as His witnesses, to be 'salt and light', agents of reconciliation, God's hands, feet and voice. |

From the GRN Australia Director - June 2010It is a challenge to respond to trouble in such a way that furthers the cause of Christ and results in us becoming more like Jesus. |
From the GRN Australia Director - May 2010We have the wonderful privilege and indeed the authority to tell people everywhere what God has done for them so that they will believe and obey him and bring glory to his name. |

From the GRN Australia Director - April 2010Introducing Greg Cooper. |
The Silent SaintsTruly the Body of Christ is made up of many members each one with a different function but together carrying out the purpose of the Head, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Many of those who do God's work do it without recognition or acknowledgement. Many may never be acknowledged publicly - and most don't seek it anyway! We are thankful for those who have furthered the work of GRN often without any accolades. |

Has technology made God obsolete?It seems something of a contradiction that the God who "does not change" and in whom there is "no shadow due to change", does "new things". |
Prayer is better than "Skype"!Modern communications are a wonderful thing, but it can't compete with prayer. |
Never give upWe are called to keep on praying whether or not we hear about the 'effects' of our prayers. |
God is at work in the worldOften we pray yet don't see or hear the results of our prayers. Sometimes we hear much later how God has answered our prayer. |
